A video explaining the terms about federalization of the Guard, the difference between the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty, and when the guard or active duty can engage in law enforcement. Hint: the guard as activated in Calif cannot. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl...

This is a faster read and already a quarter through it. Should finish today. Glad I read the previous to trace the threads between the Weimar and 1990s Russia.

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue. Can you help me get to 5k followers to show her we can do this?!

"A movement composed of money, technological infrastructure, government power, and popular support fractured. Not entirely. Not irreparably. But meaningfully. It’s an opportunity. It’s a reminder that these guys are not ten feet tall."

Trump’s tariff mess is wreaking havoc on U.S. manufacturing—slowing production and hurting businesses and consumers across the country. Nothing about this is “America First.” It’s just another betrayal from an administration that’s failed working people.

This is an excellent follow up to an already outstanding piece on the existential failings of the American military system. A further reminder that Europeans clawing their way to strategic self-reliance need to develop their own path rather than emulate American mistakes.

New, from me: The DOGE project was sold as tech disruptors who would revolutionize government. To try to understand why DOGE has failed, I point to lessons that other technologists who worked in government learned, but DOGE ignored. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-doge-...
